To Honor You Adam ........... / Your Mom "TO HONOR YOU ADAM"
To honor you, I get up everyday and take a breath And start another day without you in it. To honor you, I laugh and love with those who knew your smile and the way your eyes twinkled with mischief and secret knowledge. To honor you, I take chances, say what I feel, hold nothing back, risk making a fool of myself, and dance every dance. You were my light, my heart, my gift of love from the very Highest Source. So everyday, I promise to make a difference, share a smile, live, laugh, and love. Now I live for us both, So all I do, I do to HONOR YOU!
Love, Mom
An Angel by Your Side / Angelica Grover Grover May You Always Have An Angel by Your Side
“May you always have an angel by your side Watching out for you in all things you do Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days Finding ways for your wishes and dreams to come true Giving you hope that is as certain as the sun Giving you the strength of serenity as your guide May you always have love and comfort and courage And may you always have an angel by your side Someone there to catch you if you fall Encouraging your dreams Inspiring your happiness Holding your hand and helping you through it all In all of our days, our lives are always changing Tears come along as well as smiles Along the roads you travel, may the miles be a thousand times more lovely than lonely May they give you gifts that never, ever end: someone wonderful to love and a dear friend in whom you can confide May you have rainbows after every storm May you have hopes to keep you warm And may you always have an angel by your side”

My Go to Guy / Pam Pearson Gross (Friend) Dearest Adam, Memories of Adam Smith, my "Go to Guy" continue to keep me company every day. Missing you has not been easy, and not being able to pick up that phone to ask for advice has been even more difficult than I thought/ Something BIG came up in my life and I couldn't share how happy I was with you and that made me so sad. I got married on Valentine's Day to someone so special I know you would approve! His name is Dan and when I first met him he reminded me so much of you that I felt immediately comfortable with him. Dan worked for my dentist, that is where we met. We started dating and 8 months later we got married in Hawaii. Believe it or not, we LIVE in Hawaii now and our life is just perfect. I'm studying to be a dental assistant and Dan is studying Marine Biology. Life is good! I'm happier than I"ve ever been in my life, but that doesn't say that I don't miss the great guy who was so much a part of my life just a few years ago. You will always be special to me Adam, I'm just sorry you can't share my happiness. You were always there for me whenever I had a crisis and you always made things right, I will never, never forget you. Thank you for being a part of my life and for continuing to be such a strong spirit in my life. I feel your happiness all around me and sometimes I even think I hear your voice giving your approval. Rest in peace always sweet angel. Your beautiful, beautiful memory lives on in this world in the hearts of so many people who loved you so much.
Be happy for me Adam.
Kisses, Pam
I will keep you in my prayers Jane ... / Victoria Grossier (A friend who cares ) Dear Jane, I know the difficult times you have been through since Adam's death and I know you are suffering right now. I can only offer you my love, an ear and a shoulder when you need them. Not to be discouraging, but there is still plenty ahead of you, and you must get stronger! My advice is not to be surprised when people let you down, it will happen time and again. The ones you least suspect will cut deep. I've lived through it after Jared passed on. In the minds of many people, when someone dies-you mourn them for a year and then you move on. I promise you, there was no love for that person in their hearts to begin with. How do you move on? How do you put the memories aside? You can't, why? because Adam was the love of your life, your first born and always will be. You will continue to sort out family and friends until only the people who were special to Adam stand before you and cry with you. It sounds cold Jane, but it's the truth. The one who failed me, one of the people I loved and trusted the most in this world was my own Mum. So be aware, "they" will walk across your path and set you back, try not to let that happen to you.
You've done a beautiful job memorializing your handsome son and his memory. I'm sure this gives you comfort for those times that you have set backs. You are indeed lucky to be a faithful person and to be able to share your faith with your husband, without my faith I would indeed be a lost soul.
Adam is watching Jane. He sees all that goes on in life even though he is with us in a different dimension. He knows the disappointments you have suffered and he will never abandon his Mum. He will give you the strength you need to continue. If you think that rosary is special to you, imagine what Adam thinks of it as he watches you pray each bead in his memory. Others may have let him down, his Mum hasn't. Listen to his messages, feel his spirit ever present with you each moment, and know that his will be the face that greets you in heaven some day. He knows what you are going through and he will be the one to help you smile again.
Our boys are in heaven, for this we should be thankful to the Lord for, yet , the emptiness in our heart remains so painful. If others can't understand that, we need not waste our time with them. I understand this period of grief. 18 months is a long time to yearn for a hug from that little person we helped create all those years ago. Never stop praying and trust Adam always, he will hold your hand through any sadness or disappointments because he loves you.
I will keep you in my prayers Jane.
Love, Victoria

Very Beautiful / Sr. Madeleine Beaufort (A spiritual friend ) Dear Mrs. Smith,
It was such a pleasure speaking with you today. When we hung up, I immediately came to this incredible site and I have spent 2 hours now going through the many beautiful pictures and tributes made to your son Adam. All I can say is "A life well lived" How lucky Adam was to have lived such a full life, even though it was short, it was full --- full of love, family, friends, laughter, good times, good deeds and faith.
There is not a doubt in my mind that your Adam is in heaven with Our Lord and all of His saints. If only our worldly minds could begin to comprehend just exactly how perfect heaven really is, our tears of sadness and grief would turn into tears of happiness for Adam and all of the loved ones we have lost.
Finding your rosary has become a blessing for me. As I mentioned to you, my brother passed away 9 years ago and my Mother has never been able to deal with the loss of her only son. I've watched her health, both physically and mentally decline since his death and I've felt totally helpless most of this time. After speaking with you, I've decided that there will be Masses celebrated for Rene' many times throughout the year, not just the anniversary of his death. This will give my dear Mother the opportunity to celebrate Rene's life and all that he meant to his family. I will "steal" your idea of releasing balloons to heaven to celebrate Rene's birthday instead of mourning a day that should always be special to his family. I will encourage my Mother to make this a "celebration" of sorts, and yes, I do like the idea of sending the letter to heaven with a balloon.
How lucky you are that the good Father gave you permission to allow Adam to rest in Church before the Lord's altar. I can understand how much easier it was to make Adam's services a celebration of his life. When I look back on Rene's services, the only comforting time was the hour spent in Church for his Mass. How blessed Adam was! And still is!
I wish I could have been there for his candlelight memorial Mass, I'm sure it was beautiful, and once again, an opportunity to celebrate Adam's special life with his friends, family and God! How comforting our faith can be, you are blessed, Mrs. Smith, to have such strong faith.
When I found your rosary, I knew that it was special, not so much by what it looked like, but what the rosary felt like when I picked it up. I didn't associate it with sadness either, it was more of a joyous feeling. Now I know why and I am so thankful that you got your rosary back so quickly. Now I know it was not by accident that I attended the French Mass that particular Saturday, it was just the Lord's hand moving me where He needed me to be.
As I mentioned to you, I will be making a Pilgramage to Lourdes in February, 2008. It will be my great honor to place Adam's name next to my brother's on the altar in Lourdes. I pray that by then, my Mother will have found the peace that you have been blessed with Mrs. Smith. I plan to help her walk down the same path you and your family have walked down.
Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me about your terrible loss and for reminding me what is important, even a nun tends to forget the most basic parts of our faith. Your rosary is very special for many, many reasons Mrs. Smith, and "no" I don't believe that a person can have too many Masses celebrated in their memory, I just needed to be reminded of that.
Adam was and is a very lucky man and I know he smiles down on you, his Mom, every day. One day we will all be together again with our loved ones and they will remember how we honored them.
God Bless You, Sr. Madeleine Beaufort
HAPPY ST PATRICK DAY XXX / TERRY REILLY (angel charlie maclennan )
Thinking of you and Adam / Jo-Ann~mom Of Angel~Lauren Pacenta
The Messenger From an Angel on high a tender message of love was softly whispered into the ear of this humble scribe.... Weep not for me now that I have passed. Remember the laughter, the affection, the joy not just the recent tears. Cherish the memories, our hopes and dreams. Hold fast to the love that we shared. Be happy with the time we spent together and being anew. For I am not really gone, I am closer than ever before. As the morning sun rises and throughout the busy day...I am with you. Until the setting sun disappears on the horizon and we watch the day turn into night...I am here. You may feel a faint breeze stir round your head, while you slumber as I gently kiss your forehead, "Good night." The stars that shine so brightly in my heavenly sky help me watch over you and keep you from harm.
Dear Jane, I too have been feeling such incredible sorrow. I think our angels know how we are feeling. I too wish they would visit us in our dreams. Maybe they are around us in ways we can't see. I look at Adam's picture and Lauren's picture and know they must have made a connection in heaven. I am truly thankful for that. My heart and my prayers are with you and your precious Adam everyday. May we find peace and comfort. Hugs to you Love Jo-Ann
He's Near! by janet abbott / Janet Abbott (friend of his mom )
